It seems that directories are somehow involved in the whole download process, from the command line directory to start the download to ending up with a program that is ready to run, and nothing I've seen so far clearly addresses the role of directories in each step of the process.
1. When preparing to perform a ftp download, what should directory in the command line be?
[root localhost /directory]# ftp ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/tracker-4.3-linux.tar.gz.
(I'm not even sure if I have this right ----- ftp ftp://sunsite.....)
2. I know that the next step is to unzip but, again, what should directory be in the command line?
[root localhost /directory]# gzip -d sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/tracker-4.3-linux.tar
(does
another directory have to be included somewhere in the command?
3. What should directory be for the tar process?
[root localhost /directory]# tar....................
is
another directory supposed to be included somewhere in the command?
4. How is the final destination of the download determined.....that
is, where it resides as a ready to run program?
I'd appreciate it if someone could list the ftp, zip, and tar
commands that will actually install the example I used in question
